Not much beyond the movie poster
If you like films with beginnings, middles, and ends, this is not for you. There is much to like about parts of this film. The acting is good, the cinematography is good, the music and sound design is excellent, and the editing is very good. Still, I would have preferred going to any trailer park in Texas and drinking beer with the residents. The film is so much like real life that it makes me long for real life instead of watching an imitation. I don't need to pay to see banality on screen when I can walk out the door and see it for free, and in a more interesting, interactive way. This would have made 2 excellent experimental films of about 8 minutes each. This is not a "message film," but rather a very long mood piece, and unfortunately, all of that was conveyed by the movie poster. "Room" reminds me of Richard Linklater's first feature film, "It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books." I disliked that film for many of the same reasons, and now Linklater is one of my favorite directors. I hope the same will happen with this filmmaker.
What could I spoil?
Well, at least this movie was short - only about an hour and ten minutes. Yet I still want to kick myself for wasting that much of my life on this movie. I'm not one to bash filmmakers - I can appreciate the effort in almost anything. But when you make me sit and wait and wait and wait for some kind of reason for the existence of the film, let alone any kind of resolution of the story, and you leave me with nothing, then I'm just plain annoyed. I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I tell you there's almost no story at all here. If you read the synopsis provided by the filmmakers, you already know the whole story, what little there is. Films like this are what give indie film a bad name. Though Cindi Williams gives a credible performance as the lost-soul heroine of the movie, there is no other redeeming quality I can find here. I felt this movie was a complete waste of time.
Haunting.
I actually liked this film. No it isn't perfect-but it gave me a feeling that not many others have. I'd compare the feeling to the one I got from Clean, Shaven and Inland Empire. Sort of a nightmarish claustrophobia, but the sort you get from being stuck inside your own body. I think the director deserves credit for a haunting, unique film. I really related to the main character in her 'lostness'...this movie really gets that the most disturbing things are not subversive or alien to us- they are real situations, every day things. No, there's not a real plot or a satisfying-loose ends-tying finale, but if there were I'd feel cheated because life isn't like that. I think this film has been reviewed by too many people who have never experienced real fear.
Infuriating movie
Room is the most infuriating and boring movie I have seen in years. I wanted to destroy the DVD when the end credits came on. Why? As others have already stated so well, there was no ending, no conclusion, no answers or resolution of any kind to what that room was or what it meant to her. I did like seeing a very fat actress in a role instead of a pretty person. I also liked seeing her fat lover... the guy she picked up in the bar. I assumed she had sex with him because of the night her husband refused her because he had work to do. But who knows? Like everything else in this film, it was interesting to watch, but meaningless. When I began to realize I had wasted my money was in that spiraling weirdness at the end. It gave me a headache, and I had to look away. When it just went on and on and on, I had a hunch that this was the director's substitute for a decent ending. All in all, watching this film was like having pretty-good sexual foreplay and then having your lover just leave you. I will never watch anything by that director again. He copped out, he cheated us, and I hope he turns to something like gardening where what he does won't infuriate millions of viewers like Room did.
This film is awful
Ouch. Wow. Terrible. Simple film that is so dull and boring with no rhyme or reason. The first half is almost interesting as she "loses it"... but the second half she wanders around NY in a dazed fog, leaving the viewers in a dark cloud of disappointment. The ending was nothing at all... leaving us so empty. The rental box sounded very compelling, but the film is a waste of time. Hey, the lead actress did a really good job of playing the part of the overburdened, confused and dazed housewife, but the role was not enough to carry this film. Sorry, don't rent this one. All they had to do was give us a solid second half and a firm conclusion and I would have given it a 5.
